CORREL was trying to blend in while concealing his presence at the same time. Correl was continuously hiding in the corners so no one would see them.
But he can see everyone within his location… Including Damian in his calm yet panicked state while looking for Carson.
‘You grew up so well, and I can say that you got Sabrina’s guts and Veron’s authoritative presence, Damian Giovanni,’ said Correl at the back of his mind, gritting his teeth. ‘Lucky for you, I didn’t succeed in killing you and Sabrina back then.’
He moved his eyes away, afraid that he would lose his temper because of the anger boiling inside him. Instead, he walked toward the garden to get some fresh air. But he saw Carson and a young woman instead.
“DAD, am I stupid and foolish?” Carter asked, his gaze fixated on the table.“What? Of course not,” Correl answered, shaking his head. “You are the most intelligent person I have ever seen, so what made you think about that, my son?”“Because it feels like Damian is always one step ahead of me.” Carter sighed. “I mean, I know it wasn’t the case. He didn’t even expect any of my plans just now… But it feels like I’m still failing. My plan failed.”“What plan, exactly?” Correl asked as he sat on the chair beside his son.“The plan to take over the company.” Carter leaned forward, placing his elbows on his legs, and intertwining his fingers. “According to a document notarized by the board, Damian will be the temporary CEO in case something bad happens to him. He planned everything.”Hearing the news made Correl clench his fists, but he remained calm. He let out a smirk. “It is just your uncle’s nature. You have been with him for over a decade, yet you aren’t used to that?”“I need to cra
“YOU are such a good doctor, but why are you here in the countryside? Don’t you want to make more money?” Sabrina asked, her brows furrowing.“Whose person in their sane mind doesn’t want money?” Ren couldn’t help but laugh and shake his head. “I just want a peaceful life and enough money that can sustain my survival. I don’t want anyone to take advantage of my skills for their greed. That’s all.”“Well said.” Sabrina nodded and even gave Ren a slow clap. “Anyway, thank you for helping me. We wouldn’t be alive now if not for you.”Ren only smiled at her in response.Since they have nowhere else to go, Ren offered Sabrina to live in his house since he was alone for a long time after Reina Smith, his sister, died. Sabrina accepted it, and now, she was helping Ren in farming so they could sell the crops in the market.And three months after that accident, Damian already woke up. He was able to move his body, too… Except for one thing.“Who… are you?” Damian asked, the confusion evident
“THAT kid… Wanted to kill you?” Ren asked, looking at Sabrina in disbelief. “He is just a college student. Are you being serious right now?”“If he takes after his father, which he probably did, then yes, I’m serious,” Sabrina answered, remembering the information she dug about Carter, the eldest son. “But I know that he’s not after me, but Damian.”Hearing the confidence in Sabrina’s tone, Ren’s brows furrowed. “How can you be so sure?”“Because the announcement for the next heir is just around the corner, and I believe that Carter would like to take everything under control by killing my son.” Sabrina clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. “I won’t let that happen, so we are going to lure them away
AS DAMIAN heard the panic in Francesca’s voice, he suddenly became attentive. “Why? What happened?”“I just heard it from the other directors, who were passing by earlier, that they will have an emergency board meeting anytime by now,” Francesca informed, her tone low, preventing anyone from hearing her. “I believe they will request your presence later.”“An emergency board meeting? What for?” Damian asked, his brows furrowed.“For your removal as the temporary CEO, Sir…”Upon hearing Francesca’s report, Damian almost let go of his phone. He had just recovered from his headache due to remembering his past, yet there was something that he needed to address again.“Did you hear any news on why they wanted to remove me as the current CEO?” inquired Damian, making Anya look at him with her eyes widening in shock.“It was Ma’am Sarah who initiated the emergency board meeting, Sir. But I wasn’t able to hear why they wanted to conduct it,” said Francesca in a low tone. “They already walked p
“THE people in this company,” Damian said, his gaze laced with unwavering determination.“What bullshit is this I’m hearing now, Damian?” Sarah asked, raising an eyebrow. “Do you think we have time for your jokes? If you don’t have a proper plan to make this work, then just tell it to us right now, and stop spouting nonsense.”“Nonsense?” Damian’s forehead creased, and the annoyance was evident in his tone. “Believing the skills and talent of the people who have built this company into what it is today… You call that nonsense? Did you even think how Sir Veron would react to it if he just heard what you said?”The room fell silent, and it was immediately charged with tension. Sarah could only clench her fists under the table and look
“What is it, young master?” asked Leo on the other line.“About Penelope and Carter’s upcoming engagement,” answered Damian in a low tone. “As of now, do you have any news about it?”“Young master Carter wanted to rush the wedding preparations, but the Hellion family wanted to take things meticulously since the Ferremento and Hellion Corporation will merge,” Leo explained.“Do you know their target wedding date?”“Three months from now,” Leo replied, his tone lower than usual. “It will be hard for me to investigate it since Young Master Carter was being attentive when I’m around him; Maybe it is because everyone knows his real identity now.” Upon hearing those words, Carter raised an eyebrow as he stopped slicing his steak. “What the hell are you talking about?”“Before we can even buy shares, we are already beaten up to it. I heard that the existing shareholders bought additional shares at a discount,” Luther said, clicking his tongue as he looked at Carter again. “Didn’t you hear anything about it?”“No, I didn’t.” Carter took his phone and looked at his email. “I wasn’t notified by it, either. Our plan could have been compromised.”Luther looked away. “Yeah. I told Damian about your conversation with Penelope when I visited the Ferremento Corporation.”“You did what?” In a flash, Carter was already in front of Luther, holding Luther’s collar tightly. “I told you before that Damian can’t know about our plan until we execute it, didn’t I?” he muttered, his voice deeply low so no one could hear it.“W-Well, what can I do? Damian looked surprised when I told him about that, and it was satisfying…” Luther tried to reason outThe Fallen Son-In-Law's Retaliation Chapter 309: Poison Pill Strategy
Sarah looked at the document Damian gave her and gasped in shock upon seeing what it was. “M-My removal as a member of the board? Are you joking with me right now?” Sarah asked, carefully looking at the documents by flipping them one by one. “I know that you lack work experience, but are you going to show it like this? There is a proper way of removing someone from the board, and this isn’t like this!”Before she could even finish reading the whole document, Sarah threw it on the table—Specifically in front of Damian.But despite being desperate to intimidate Damian, the latter only smirked and held the document.“Of course, I know that this isn’t the proper way, but if everyone knew here that you are taking bribes from the Hellion Corporation to gain crucial information in this company, do you think they would be in opposition to your removal?”Everyone gasped in shock upon hearing Damian’s statement. The tension filled the air, and all members looked at Sarah with dismay and contemp
